armenzg: Mozilla internship (week 1)

How to start a blog post to convey so many things that are happening to me?

As many of you know, I am doing an internship with Mozilla Corporation who they deliver to the world an internet browser called Mozilla Firefox. This company is owned by Mozilla Foundation which is a non-profit organization, therefore, the desires of the companies are after creating an open web by being themselves open and allowing the source code they use to generate the browser (I say "the" instead of "their" since the code is owned by no one).

Introduction made, I will center on what I have done in my first week (non technical events)

After that he decided to take me to Mountain Hamilton where the Lick Observatory is. Gary is a person who loves nature and likes to make the people feel welcome, a really interesting person to meet for his unique involvement with the Mozilla Community.

Next day before going to the office, he decided to go and buy a cup for his brother to the "The Company Store" which some of you might know that is in One Infinte Loop (I am sorry Huanlu, you have to take it how it comes) which is part of the Apple's Headquartes. The store looks like a cloth stoe as Zara but with iPhones and iPods instead.

I am working in a really cool and heavy into details project under the mentoring of John O'Duinn who is the manager of the release team. He also got a good MacBook Pro for all my hacking and honestly I really appreciate speciall since my laptop is giving too many problems and the humongous screen that they got me is good since my eyes are like my grandma's
